Steel Dynasty - Chapter 217

[Chapter 217 Four Major Troubles]

Fiji is currently overwhelmed by so many exquisite Qingzhou goods.

This time King Qi indeed gave him enough face.

After Xiao Wenxuan repeatedly proposed marriage to him for Xiao Ming, he had already made up his mind, and after the victory in Cangzhou, he confirmed his thoughts.

The Fei family has a long heritage and claims to be second among the scholarly families. No one in this great country of Chongqing dares to claim to be the first. It is precisely because of this that the Fei family has a large number of talents. In any dynasty, there is no shortage of high-ranking officials in the capital.

Logically speaking, he did not want Fei Yueer to marry far away from Chang’an.

But after repeated thinking, his intuition told him that this might be a wise choice, and he also believed that this unique King Qi would bring him something different in the future.

“Thank you, Your Highness. I am really ashamed to receive so many gifts.” Fiji said with a cup of his hands, and then he asked his servants to accept these gifts.

After pondering for a moment, Fiji sighed, “I know why Your Highness is here today. I have agreed to this marriage.”

Xiao Ming smiled, and it turned out to be a matter of course just as Concubine Zhen said. Said: “Fei Zhongshu is very kind, Xiao Ming is being polite.”

After saying that, Xiao Ming stood up and saluted Fiji.

From now on, I will be my father-in-law.

Fiji did not stand up, but accepted this gift. At this time, what he was paying attention to was not the ministers, but human relations.

“Your Highness, please take a seat. In addition to the wedding, Your Highness must also want to understand the general trend of the world with me this time.” Fiji’s eyes were bright.

If it were Xiao Ming in the past, he would definitely not say this, but now from the newspapers in Qingzhou, he saw a different Xiao Ming.

“Exactly, I hope Fei Zhongshu can give me some advice.” Xiao Ming did not deny it.

Although he has a lot of scientific and technological knowledge, Xiao Ming currently lacks understanding of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, which is very detrimental to the development of Qingzhou.

After all, Qingzhou is a part of the Great Chongqing State and cannot develop independently from the Great Chongqing State. After all, it needs many resources that must be obtained from other places.

Furthermore, he needs who is his enemy and who is his friend now, and who can still be won over. The great leader once said that we must unite all forces that can be united, and fighting alone will not work.

Fiji smiled, gently stroking his beard and said: “Nowadays, Dayu is suffering from domestic and foreign troubles. You must know this very well. The most powerful enemies of Dayu are none other than the barbarians. Although Beishan retreated this time, When I come back, I must wash away the humiliation of Cangzhou. According to the news I got, after Bei Shan returned this time, he was just scolded. On the contrary, he used this to let the Blood Wolf Tribe enter Youzhou from Shanhaiguan. , this Blood Wolf Tribe is a world away compared to the Huyan Tuo Tribe.”

Xiao Ming had not heard of this news, and he couldn’t help feeling that his intelligence network was still not as good as the imperial court.

Fiji continued: “Huyantuo is just a small tribe. They can occupy Youzhou and other places because they please Wushu Gu, but this Blood Wolf tribe is one of the strongest tribes under Beishan, and you must have seen the Blood Wolf Guards. Passed.”

Xiao Ming nodded, “This Blood Wolf Guard is indeed well-trained and extremely brave.”

At the end of the battle in Cangzhou, the mountain of corpses piled up by the Blood Wolf Guards was still in front of us. In such a tragic scene, the Blood Wolf Guards still rushed in fearlessly.

“Yes, this Blood Wolf Guard accompanied Beishan in his campaign against the Ottomans. He has experienced hundreds of battles. Moreover, the Blood Wolf Tribe is also one of the large tribes on the grassland, with a population of more than 500,000. These 500,000 people are enough to mobilize One hundred thousand cavalry, not including slave soldiers. You have suffered a big loss from Beishan this time. He will definitely pay attention to the artillery and study how to attack the city with artillery.” Fiji said.

“I have expected this. The worst case scenario is that Bei Shan also gets the artillery.” Xiao Ming said thoughtfully, “But I understand that the Qingzhou Army is far from being a match for the barbarians on the grassland, so I am going to use the city cannon.” “We will advance our strategy with a powerful fortress and slowly encroach on the land of Youzhou.”

Fiji sighed, “Well, I feel at ease now. This is what I want to remind you. You must not rashly start a war with the barbarians on the grassland, except for the barbarians. In addition, our country of Chongqing still has three major problems.”

“Please tell me, Fei Zhongshu,”

Feiji said slowly: “One of these is what the King of Wei in the court said that day, which is the rampant pirates along the coast. , the pirates of the Japanese country accounted for 40%, the remaining 40% were Koreans, and the rest were the Dayu people from the land of Wuyue, who together with the Japanese and Koreans also acted as pirates, causing harm to our coastal border towns. “

“Forty percent are Koreans .

?” Xiao Ming asked in disbelief.

Fiji nodded, “Yes, Goryeo once vassalized the Chongqing Kingdom, but after the barbarians became stronger, they vassalized the barbarians. They looked down upon our Chongqing Kingdom. In order to flatter the barbarians, they once killed the envoys of the Chongqing Kingdom to Goryeo. Since then, Dayu and Goryeo have turned against each other. After that, Goryeo saw that Dayu was weak and sent soldiers pretending to be pirates to plunder the wealthy cities along the coast. They often attacked and killed Dayu’s fishermen along the coast. “

“So that’s the case, no wonder. Dengzhou is close to the sea, but there are not many people going out to fish, that’s why.” Xiao Ming pondered, thinking of some information in the science and technology library.

This information comes from the “Records of Sejong”, the official history of Korea in later generations, which states that “during the previous dynasty, Japanese pirates were on the rise, and the people were in dire straits. However, the Japanese were only one or two, and the people of the country (North Korea) rebelled against the Japanese and formed parties to cause chaos. “.

In the Dayu Kingdom, the Korean people became even more aggressive because of the barbarians. However, regardless of whether there were more Japanese people or more Korean people, these two places had always been eyeing the Dayu Kingdom.

Whenever the Central Plains dynasty fell into decline, these Xiaoxiao would take the opportunity to invade.

Fiji continued: “It is precisely for this reason that the maritime trade of Great Chongqing has declined. In recent years, except for the King of Wei, few merchants have dared to go to sea.”

Xiao Ming nodded.

At this time, Fiji added: “The second trouble is the Annan Kingdom. This Annan Kingdom often kills our border residents and seizes our territory. Moreover, because of the size of the Annan Kingdom, the Dayu Kingdom has sent troops several times. Many of them retreated in defeat, which in turn cost a lot of money.” huge.”

The Nan’an State of the Dayu State was Vietnam in later generations. It was also a vassal state of the Dayu State. However, after Emperor Gaozu, the Chen family of Annan, which was originally attached to the Dayu State, was slaughtered in the rebellion, and was replaced by the Chongqing State. The Hua dynasty was hated by the country. From then on, the Annan Kingdom in the south invaded the border areas many times, burning, killing and looting.

Mentioning this, Xiao Ming couldn’t help but feel that there are some striking similarities in history. In modern history, Goryeo, Japan, and Annan had constant wars with previous dynasties, but in modern times, these countries are still the main force in encircling and suppressing our country.

Now that he was born in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, Xiao Ming could imagine that hundreds of years later, these countries would still be the mortal enemies of the Central Plains Dynasty, binding the Central Plains Dynasty like chains.
